Bombay Sapphire Gin

Does anyone else like drinking this stuff? I really think it's the best gin in the universe. It makes the perfect martini IMO.

I've only drank beefeater and that is pretty good stuff. I don't dance with gin too often you talk about a killer hangover. How does bombay compare to others?

Yes it does have that piney flavor from the juniper berries. But I find that Tanqueray (sp?) has much more of a piney flavor than Bombay Sapphire. Personally I'll take a gin maritini over a vodka martini any day.v Bombay Sapphire has a perfect balance of flavours IMO.

Bombay Saphire blows Beefeater out of the water. I'm not even that big of a gin fan but this Saphire stuff is great. It''s got almonds from Spain, lemon peal from Spain, liquorice from China, Juniper Berries from Italy, and other things but I'm too drunk to read from the bottle at this time. I'm kinda drunk and no matter how hard I try, the words are too blurry to read.
But Bombey Sapphire is the shit hands down.

I do.
IMO Bombay far surpasses any other gin. Beefeater is good, Seagram's maybe a bit better, but once you've tasted Bombay all the rest start to taste like shit. The distillation process for Bombay is different from that of other gins, and it show.
Damn you made me want to drink. It's a good thing I don't have anything to drink, it's 8 in the morning.

Only what is probably the best drink in the known world, a Gin Tonic. You will need Gin, and Tonic (imagine that! ).

Bombay Sapphire is the shit.
I cant believe someone said Seagrams! Icky. Just the smell makes me nauseous.

What's wrong with Seagram's? It's nowhere near Bombay, but it's still good stuff.

You are indeed correct. My old roomate used to make me Gin and Tonics with that stuff all the time.
Very good.

One of the reasons I love living in Vegas...
Only in a town this cool would your Mayor pull a stunt like this... http://www.ci.las-vegas.nv.us/108_4329.htm
I'm pretty sure he starts drinking martinis every afternoon around quitting time and gets sauced nightly. And hes an old mob lawyer as well, what better representative for Las Vegas could there be!?!
